Attorney and Client - Resignation
Per Curiam. Jennifer Mari Blunt was admitted to practice by this Court in 2003 and lists a business address in Bowie, Maryland with the Office of Court Administration. Blunt now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Blunt's application.
Upon reading Blunt's affidavit sworn to August 26, 2025, and filed August 29, 2025, and upon reading the September 29, 2025 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Blunt is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Garry, P.J., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Ceresia, JJ., concur. Ordered that Jennifer Mari Blunt's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further ordered that Jennifer Mari Blunt's name is hereby stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law of the State of New York, effective immediately, and until further order of this Court (see generally Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further ordered that Jennifer Mari Blunt is commanded to desist and refrain from the practice of law in any form in the State of New York, either as principal or as agent, clerk or employee of another; and Blunt is hereby forbidden to appear as an attorney or counselor-at-law before any court, judge, justice, board, commission or other public authority, or to give to another an opinion as to the law or its application, or any advice in relation thereto, or to hold herself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this state; and it is further ordered that Jennifer Mari Blunt shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her.
